About this role
What if your full-stack skills could help advance cancer research, model climate impacts, or combat human trafficking, instead of adding an AI chatbot to a legacy codebase? At Kitware, you won't be building yet another SaaS dashboard. You'll work in small, autonomous teams on greenfield projects that tackle real scientific and societal challenges, using a wide breadth of technologies across the full stack.
Kitware's mission is to advance science and make the world a better place through open-source software. We collaborate with top universities, national research labs, and government agencies on R&D projects with outsized real-world impact. Our tools are used by millions: CMake is ubiquitous in C++, and our other platforms are deeply impactful in domains like medical imaging, geospatial intelligence, and scientific computing.
We're a 100% employee-owned company (ESOP) with no outside investors, fewer than 200 employees, and an average employee tenure of six years.

We're building software that matters, for the long haul.
Join us and build the software that makes science work.
